Day 28

Because you love me, I am different than I would have been otherwise. Sometimes because of your illness your behavior was at times difficult to comprehend or understand especially during my childhood. I know you loved me even with all your shortcomings and did the best you could with the resources you had.

The world will see the shape of you in me because your life and death has taught me the importance of compassion and empathy for people that are emotionally struggling although I may not alway fully understand.
